Made some tweaks to my fender eliminator tonight. Since I have a 3D printer with a much bigger build volume I can print a bracket that has the turn signals integrated into the bracket rather than having them as separate parts. I also added some fillets and generally dressed up the appearance along with adding a logo on the top. While it seems nicer to have it all as one piece, I learned today that having the turn signals as separate pieces has its advantages when a coworker accidently crash a box directly into the turn signal on my motorcycle and it snapped the turn signal bracket off. This sounds bad but actually it was really easy to fix. All that was needed was to unbolt the broken parts of the turn signal, slip the LED strip out and slip it into a new one and then bolt everything back together. The version made all of one piece won’t be as easy to repair but I'm thinking if I print it of Alloy 910 nylon it will be much stronger.
Then again I may just stick with the old design and print all the parts with nylon to make everything stronger than the PLA its currently made from. Having the turn signals fail while preserving the rest of the bracket could be preferable to needing to potentially replace the whole bracket should something happen.
